Demo: Software Design: Porting Software to RISCV using Imperas Virtual Platforms Katherine (Kat) Hsu Manny Wright, Imperas Software While much of the focus and energy of the RISCV adopters has so far gone into the development of the RISCV architecture and specific cores, the real success of RISCV is dependent upon the key software tasks for new applications, porting legacy software, and optimising OS, RTOS ports and drivers for the wide range of RISCV devices being built. With more custom silicon projects starting every day, virtual platforms (often called virtual prototypes) offer a viable alternative to hardware prototypes for software engineering tasks. This talk will highlight how simulation and virtual platforms can be used for software development for new processors and SoCs including a demonstration.
